Below are some of Buddha's wise quotes and sayings that will help you find inner peace and true happiness: “Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” “Contentment is the greatest wealth.” "Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without." "Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned." “Greater in battle than the man who would conquer a thousand-thousand men, is he who would conquer just one – himself. Better to conquer yourself than others.” "People with opinions just go around bothering one another." "No matter how hard the past. You can always begin again." "Learn this from water: loud splashes the brook but the oceans depth are calm." “The greatest prayer is patience.” “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.” "An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind." “Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.” "Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom." “Remembering a wrong is like carrying a burden on the mind.” “A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.” “Victory breeds hatred. The defeated live in pain. Happily the peaceful live, giving up victory and defeat.” "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and common sense." "Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely." May you all have a happy life! spiritualray.com planetofsuccess.com
